A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

Because I have spies everywhere, I can tell you on good authority that the
Wieden+Kennedy “Facebook is a fucking Chair” campaign is actually a
cover up for the upcoming, and still very secret, re-launch of Naugahyde. Yes,
remember the fabled skin of wild Naugas that graced everything from the seats in
your Chevy Belle Air, to the booths in your favorite diner? In the launch
campaign, ten minute TV spot, “Nauga is the chair,” the iconic
Red Naugahyde Chair will be seen in Tiananmen Square, on the
roof of Notre Dame, floating down the Nile on Cleopatra’s barge, and every other
dumb location it will cost millions to shoot at. Unfortunately, Alex refused to
let them use The Shed, as the Dalai Lama was using it to make genuine
“Made-In-America prayer wheels. As
further proof, this article points out that found at tenth century Viking
settlement in Newfoundland, a stone tablet describes how the rapers and
pillagers brought Naugas with them, including, Olaf the Red. No word on Zucker
the Pink.

Eric the Red before becoming "Facebook the Chair!"

W+K did not do this. They were too busy doing "The Horny Blacksmith" for Velveeta!
